Welcome to Down On The Mile High Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the City That Rust Sorta Ignored: Denver, Colorado. DOTS has left Alameda, but that doesn't mean the series has to stop! More »

Say it's 1982. Would you buy a '61 Studebaker Lark wagon with "family rust" and "factory air in the tires" from this man? By comparison, Dominion Motors in Winnipeg could give you a better buy on that car, and all with 6.25% interest! Actually, we'd really love to have that very wagon right now, but it's probably just a reddish stain in a Canadian field at this point. More »

Even though 1964 was the last model year for Studebakers built in the United States, Canadian production continued through 1966. I'm guessing this Lark Cruiser, which Project Car Hell Song creator Jack Astro photographed while visiting Victoria, B.C., is a '65, but it could be a '64 or a '66. Jack also shot a pretty cool Mars Base-style Boler trailer in the same lot; make the jump to see the complete gallery. More »

The majority of voters felt that an eternity spent wrenching on a pair of Willys Station Wagons would be preferable to eternity spent with a '58 Pontiac/'62 Mercedes-Benz combo, according to last Friday's Choose Your Eternity poll. That's fine, but what if you'd prefer endless toil on a hopeless challenging fast car? Something with light weight, V8 power, and primitive 60s suspension and brake design, perhaps? The red-hot iron gates are opening- come on in! More »

Since we're in a Studebaker mood today, let's see how the doomed South Bend automaker tried to pitch their products during their last year building cars in the United States. You can get a flat floor and lots of rear seat room in the Lark, or the fastest production car in the world when you got the Avanti. What's it gonna be? Either way, we strongly recommend the disc brake option. And let's not forget the crazy Studebaker Wagonaire! More »

With all these DOTS Bonus Edition cars lately, Kitt wants us to be sure we don't forget that her neighborhood in Denver is bursting at the seams with quality vintage iron. Last week our DOTSBE Denver machine was the Apocalypse-Ready Bronco, and now we're going to follow up yesterday's Seattle Stude with another South Bend special. This Lark looks pretty good on the left side, but the other side needs a little work. And, hey, it's for sale! Make the jump for more quality Kitt photos. More »

It's doesn't come as a shock to find that Studebakers haven't made much of a showing in this series (so far we've had just an Avanti), given that the Studes were never all that common even back in the day. But hey, at least the Studebaker Pines are still standing tall, and so is this quasi-rat-rodded '60 Lark VIII! More »
